HI Gavin – just wanted to say “thank you” for your helping with public speaking anxiety. I gave the best Best Man’s Speech. Cheers. B

I have reviewed Gavin Bowtell’s training, seen the full training manual, and other material, and we also had him come do us a workshop down at KICH Hypnosis Training in Kent last month for our students.

I have to say, it was the most enjoyable & in-depth CPD training I’ve done in a long while!

Well worth looking at if you’re considering learning EFT.

He’s also offering members of APHP and

NRPC a £50 discount. 🙂

He’s doing both in person and online training.

Good Morning Gavin,

I got to choose a supervisor that is the best fit for me after a lot of research because I can see you on zoom. If I did not have the option I would just have to choose someone relatively local that I might not find I have any rapport with. During a supervision session it is just so much easier to have the contents of my office right there to hand. My bookcase, case files, a 101 bits of admin etc. Importantly a desk to write my notes on, and I do take many during our sessions. For example I can finish or go straight into my own sessions with clients, no journey/drive in-between.

Intergrative Hypnotherapist Supervision

I have recently undergone past life regression hypnotherapy with Gavin and I highly recommend his expertise and manner. The offering is most comprehensive, encompassing not only the appointment itself but both the introductory conversation and post-session notes. Having no experience but plenty of interest in the field of past life regression and also the practice of hypnotherapy, I found Gavin receptive to my questions and happy to explore the topics arising therefrom over the introductory Zoom call and then email correspondence afterwards. Gavin also offers beforehand a self-hypnosis recording to help the client prepare for the session and become familiar with the manner and method. Quite aside from the preparatory value, I have found this recording most useful for relaxation purposes and for getting to sleep at night.

The session itself was fascinating from an experiential perspective, and illuminating in the long run. Gavin unobtrusively guided me through the hypnosis, carefully avoiding any suggestive plants. I fell into the deepest relaxation of my life! Of course, I will not go into the details of my own experience as each person’s will differ, but it is quite honestly unlike anything I’ve ever experienced and something that I would encourage for anyone simply looking for introspection, let alone those minded towards the wider possibilities of PLR.

Gavin afterwards provided the session’s recording and the notes he took during it so that I could study them in my own time. He was again happy to respond to my questions and comments to help reach a greater level of appreciation for the experience and an understanding as to what it might mean. Overall, alongside the memorable experience of the session itself, I have throughout found Gavin to be informatively open-minded on the subject of PLR and willing to discuss a range of possible contributors to what is experienced whilst under PLR hypnotherapy.

As a therapist I can highly recommend Gavin Bowtell for supervision. Supervision is such a important part of being a therapist, Gavin is so knowledgeable about every aspect of supervision. Professional to a tee, but also personable and empathetic. It took me a lot of time and research to find just the right fit for me re a supervisor, Gavin fits the bill perfectly. *****

Great session had a migraine and with calming words and actions my migraine just disappeared.
Definitely going to take up more sessions for the future and highly recommend.
Thank you so much again

I have to say that I was in a place in life where I knew I had to do do something to change my mindset and outlook. I kept an open mind when choosing to try hypnotherapy and I’m glad I had the courage to embrace it.

Gavin is both professional and personable which in my opinion is needed when trying to deal with personal trauma.

I had face to face and Skype sessions which both yielded positive results. I also had a hypnotherapy recording that I would listen to regularly to help me to relax and to sleep.
All I can say is that it has worked for me and I feel I am now thriving in life and have positively affected those around me too.

I thoroughly recommend without hesitation.

Gavin Bowtell is an exceptionally gifted colleague.
I’ve been using his “Ultimate You” Self Hypnosis Audio for a while now and am more than happy with the results! He’s got a soothing, yet powerful voice that makes it easy to go into the deepest state of trance….add that that to his ability to beautifully craft hypnotic suggestions, and you can be sure that he’s a hypnotist who’s not only combining techniques and interventions, but has an underlying strategy and philosophy that guides his healing/therapeutic work.

Highly recommended for anyone seeking change – be it getting rid of unwanted habits or thoughts, or if you want to unleash inner resources.

The Ultimate You - audio download

As an experienced therapist, I agreed to review this book by the authors.

First, let me begin by saying that although this book isn’t very long, it is crammed with useful information and is devoid of any ‘fluff’.

The book addresses all of the information a therapist would need to know, in order to work with LGBT+ clients. It soon became apparent that the authors demonstrated in depth knowledge, and they keep the reader very focused.

All therapists will encounter seeing at least one LGBT+ client in their practice, and the information contained within this book will be a tremendous help.

In my opinion, all therapists should read this book as part of their recommended personal development.

Well done for creating an excellent book! I’ve taken a lot from it myself and it’s been a joy to read.

Kind Regards

Karen

Hypnotherapy HA MBBRS, REVIEW FOR AFFIRMATIVE THERAPY ~ WORKING WITH LGBT+ CLIENTS BY STEVEN HAROLD AND GAVIN BOWTELL

I can wholehearted recommend Essex Mind Coach Gavin Bowtell. He is very skilled, kind, intuitive, an excellent listener and above all a terrific problem solver. In online sessions, Gavin and I worked on an issue I’d struggled with for a considerable amount of time and I’m very grateful he provided the support, answers and resolution that I had been looking for. I’m happy to recommend him very highly

Gavin is an amazing therapist ! Very professional. I strongly recommend!

Very relaxing and at the same time motivating

Gavin’s relaxation consultation help me to work through my difficulties in study. He gave me help and confidence! I would recommend him to anyone looking for help and support! ?

I have left Gavin a review before but I am doing so again because he helped me with something very different, as well being done in a different way because of Covid restrictions. I badly fractured my ankle and I was really struggling with the
physical confinement of the cast that I had to wear for 7 weeks. It was driving me crazy, I couldn’t find a comfortable position to rest and sleep was almost impossible. So I turned to Gavin to see if he could help. Due to Covid restrictions we had to have the session over facetime and I must admit that I had doubts about how effective that would be. I needn’t have worried as it really was as effective as a face to face session. Gavin took the time to understand my issue and then set to work resolving it for me. As a result I got immediate peace about the situation, the cast still bothered me a little but I could live with it. I was able to rest and sleep at night, both of which were invaluable to my recovery from this injury. As such I would highly recommend Gavin to anybody and can vouch for the effectiveness of the different forms of communication that are necessary during these times. Thank you Gavin

I was trying to write a review for “The Ultimate You” for quite a while now, which was a serious challenge since every time I listened to the MP3, I fell into trance so quickly and deeply I couldn’t remember any of it!

What I DID notice was … the smiles and the good feelings I had after a listening session … the deep and thoroughly rejuvenating sleep after a late-nite session … and how I woke up the next morning refreshed, energized and with a positive outlook towards the day and the challenges it may carry.

Now – as a professional hypnotist, I’m quite picky with the Audio Trances I use myself, and sometimes either the music, the voice or the suggestions (hypnotic text) use can put me off quickly. Gavin Bowtell’s “Ultimate You” is one Hypnosis MP3 that I not only can whole-heartedly recommend, but actually use myself with great delight (and really, really good results!). Gavin’s voice is pleasant and able to carry the trance in a soothing, yet strong and powerful way. The hypnotic part is exceptionally well designed and skillfully crafted.

I would recommend “The Ultimate You!” for anyone either looking for change (want to get rid of something? Or figure out how to unleash a new resource?), or just wanting to relax deeply and shed the stress of daily life. It’s almost a “one size fits all” sort of trance that works for many different scenarios and needs. One that works quickly and leave you craving for more … good thing you can listen to the MP3 as many times as you want to!

Hi Gavin

I hope you are well.
Just wanted to give you an update following the BWRT therapy for my claustrophobia.
Apologies that I have left it such a long time to let you know how I was getting on, but it feels like a small miracle has happened and have to keep testing to see if it still works!. I have been using various lifts with great success (although I felt a little apprehensive at first). My biggest triumph was going on a cruise for two weeks and being given a cabin on the 15th floor which was something that would have been a great problem before, but I was able to use the lifts constantly.
I have only been on an underground train once at Christmas and although still a bit unsure, was fine. I haven’t had the chance to retry, but I will as soon as I can.
I am truly amazed and delighted with all the help that you gave me and cannot thank you enough. I only wish that I hadn’t left it so long to get the help that I needed.
Thank you again Gavin, it really has been life changing.
Kind regards
Tina

Completely life changing since visiting Gavin @ Essex Mind Coach.

A welcoming and extremely knowledgeable coach who makes you feel at ease from minute one.

Gavin helped me rediscover old passion and determination to get back on the path I desired.

Currently 18lbs down and now looking back.

Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Gavin’s relaxation consultation help me to work through my difficulties in study. He gave me help and confidence! I would recommend him to anyone looking for help and support! ?

A really great session today after feeling maybe it wasn’t working for me! Came out smiling from ear

Gavin has helped me tremendously with my anxiety through hypnotherapy as well as EFT (tapping therapy).
Very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend 🙂

On deciding to quit smoking made a appointment with Gavin with immediate response via email we made a date that suited us both. Was made to feel so welcome on arrival and part of the furniture on leaving. I can not thank him enough I feel absolutely fantastic for not smoking mentally and physically. Not only is he good at hypnotherapy he has a fantastic personality brilliant sense of humour which played a massive part in helping me relax felt as though I was sitting with a friend catching up. So thank you so much Gavin your amazing. Vicky shaw

I listened to The Ultimate You recording a couple of times a few months ago and feel that it has had a huge impact in my life. Since that time the stress and responsibilites in my life have increased significantly but it hasn’t affected me in the way I would have expected in the past. Something has changed. Despite those issues I now find I am more creative with photography and music, and am more determined to get on with things in life. I attribute all of that to this recording and would recommend it to anyone.

Having spent only an hour with Gavin, he managed to cure my lifelong fear of spiders. Working with me on how to think differently when faced with spiders, it’s now a totally subconscious process. Everyday tasks that were always tainted with the chance and encountering a spider such as gardening, getting in the loft etc are now worry free. I can even move spiders with my bare hands now.
Gavin is great at what he does and I can’t recommend him enough. Very reasonably priced for such a life changing session.

Gavin’s Relaxation self-hypnosis recording was recommended to me as I have a stressful situation in my life that cannot be solved or dealt with, and that was causing me issues with my sleep pattern. I have been giving myself 15 minutes each day to relax with this recording and have been amazed by the results. Although the situation is still very present in my life it now feels as if it is kept in a box in the corner of the room, instead of being a burden around my neck that I must carry all day. I am a lot calmer and have noticed that my communications with others has improved because of this. I cannot thank Gavin enough for the help that this has given me and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to make some changes in their life.

I booked a hypnotherapy appointment with Mr Bowtell after talking with him on the phone. I was interested in seeing if he could help me with my lack of concentration and listening skills. I felt he asked the appropriate questions to ascertain the problem and what I wanted as a solution but didn’t build up my expectations, so when we met I had an open mind. Mr Bowtell had a very professional demeanour but I felt very comfortable in his presence as he was quite welcoming and that made me feel reassured. The hypnotherapy session had been tailored for me specifically which showed that he had a good understanding of my problem from our previous conversation over the phone. The hypnosis helped me greatly and I also bought a CD to help me later on down the line. I now feel more confident about talking to people as I can now take on-board what they are saying and offer a sympathetic response or just engage them in a meaningful conversation.

I have had many issues with self esteem and my weight over a period of years and I was reaching the end of my tether, nothing was working for me. Gavin sent me an mp3 to listen to to assist with my confidence. I will be the first to admit I was skeptical but having listened to it under his instructions, it has given me the confidence to join a weightloss group which has been a revelation. Believe me without Gavin’s help, there is no way I would have been able to pluck up the courage to do this. I feel now that I am making real progress in starting to live again instead of sleepwalking through life and being unhappy. Thank you Gavin.

This was my first past life regression and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Gavin, with his really calm way, explained what would happen and how it would work.
The experience was absolutely incredible and I learnt about a past life where I was a woman’s right activist. This knowledge helped me understand the areas of my life that have been challenging and where I have held back, but not understood why this was.
Since the regression, I’ve worked on the issues that I had been having and have been able to learn and change those situations, with a different mind-set and understanding, rather than being judgemental and critical of myself.
Gavin has such a calming beautiful energy and working with him is such a delight.
I would highly recommend Gavin for all of his work, not just past life regression.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for helping me to manage my fear of various social situations using EFT and hypnosis. I have put into practice the techniques you have taught me and will continue to do so as I feel that I am a lot calmer and have been feeling more confident in myself as well. (An observation made by my family also)
 
I am so grateful for our sessions. You were very professional and kind towards me and put me at ease. I am so impressed with your knowledge and clearly passionate approach to helping achieve results. That said I would highly recommend your services.
 
All best wishes

Such a font of knowledge and skill as well as a thorough professional service. Talks through the treatment options, what you’re looking to achieve and gives realistic goals and expectations. Can’t recommend enough.
